This book provides a much-needed comparative approach to the
history of cities by investigating the dissemination of cultural
forms between cities of the Atlantic world. The contributors attend
to the various forms and norms of cultural representation in
Atlantic history, examining a wealth of diverse topics such as the
Portuguese Atlantic; the Spanish Empire; Guy Fawkes and the
conspiratorial rhetoric of slaves; Albert-Charles Wulffleff and the
Parc-Musee of Dakar; and the writings of Jane Austen, Alexis de
Tocqueville, Benjamin Franklin, and others. By interpreting
Atlantic urban history through sustained attention to customs and
representational forms, an international group of nine contributors
demonstrate the power of culture in the making of Atlantic urban
experience, even as they acknowledge the harsh realities of
economic history.
